glimmer, glow and go
by Kyle Anne Kishinject the guarantee
of freedom
like a flu shot
which only hurts
for a moment
but keeps those
germ-y things at bay.
fly right by your scenic
tarantula riddled mind
with forest filled
colored leaves.
dont feel the danger
lurking when the dog
begins to bark.
there are places that are dark
but the light shines through.
hold your breath
and grab onto the vines
luring you to breathe
once again.
and there it is,
yes, there it is
the light crying
its way through
once more ...
but, you know
you can make it smile. 10/15/2007 Posted on 10/15/2007

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 10/16/07 at 04:04 AM Maybe, I'm nuts...but I'd swear the imagery in this gets more and more sparse as it heads towards the end. I realize a lot of poems do that, but I like it in this because it's almost like a voice that's moving further and further away, but not by choice. I dunno. Good stuff. |

It looks like, if this poem was on a piece of paper and you folded in in half - the dark stanzas would equal the light ones, but the light would win, since you end with that thought. Good and bad times aren't always equal in life, but the last stanza defines an important concept - attitude.
